I came up with this recipe while trying to think of what to make with 1 poblano pepper. Its a rich creamy rice dish that will compliment any meal.
Ingredients:
1 garlic clove - minced
1 poblano pepper - diced into small peices
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 chicken cube
2 cups instant rice
2 cups water
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
1. Heat oil in pan. Once oil is warm add garlic and poblano pepper, fry about 2 minutes. Add rice to pan, stirring constantly for about 5-7 more minutes. Rice will begin to brown; watch carefully so it doesnt burn.
2. While frying rice place 2 cups of water in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 2 minutes until water is hot and boiling.
3. After rice has fried 5-7 minutes carefully remove bowl from microwave (will be hot) and pour into pan with rice; carefull for splattering. Add chicken cube and butter stirring. Cover pan with lid and let stand 5-7 minutes until water is absorbed.
4. Remove lid and add cream and cheese to rice and mix well. Cover and let stand 1-2 more minutes.
5. Serve
